FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE INTERNET PHONE SOFTWARE
Q: What is Internet Phone?
The Internet Phone software is a revolutionary product
that lets Internet users talk with each other in real-time. This is not a
text "chat" program: you can speak with other Internet users from all
over the world with your own voice!
Q: What is required to run Internet Phone?
We recommend using at least a 486SX PC with 25MHZ and 8MB
RAM. You also need Windows 3.1, and a Winsock 1.1 compatible TCP/IP
Internet connection. For audio, you need a standard Windows-compatible
audio board, a microphone and a speaker.
Q: Can I try the Internet Phone software?
Yes. You can try the Internet Phone software for FREE!
To receive your 60 second trial copy of the Internet Phone
software, you can FTP an evaluation version of Internet Phone from
ftp.vocaltec.com, with user name ftp.
Q: What are the benefits of using Internet Phone?
The Internet Phone software is the easiest and least
expensive way to make long distance and global calls. Using Internet
Phone doesn't incur any extra coast to your standard Internet account!
With a single mouse click, you can get in touch with other Internet
Phone users from all over the world. Whether you want to meet new
friends, make long distance business contacts or talk to your family
overseas, Internet Phone is for you.
Q: How much bandwidth does Internet Phone consume on the
Internet?
The Internet Phone software uses a unique voice
compression algorithm to minimize bandwidth
consumption. Bandwidth usage is about 7.7Kbit of raw audio
data. By adding our VC Card voice
compression card, you can reduce bandwidth consumption to
about 6.72Kbit of raw audio data.
Q: Can I use Internet Phone to speak to more than one user
at a time?
You can only speak with one person at any one time.
Q: Can I make my own private conversations without
disturbance from other users?
Internet Phone provides you with "private topics" that
only you and your family, friends or business
associates can use. These topics are "unlisted", and can
be accessed only by the users that know about
them. In this way you can conduct your conversations
quietly, without getting calls from all the other
on-line users. When you only use private topics, your name
does not appear on the global list of on-line
users. Only users that know where to look can reach you.
Q: Are my calls safe?
Internet Phone sends and receives audio directly from the
other user, without going through the Internet
Phone server (the server is only used to let users locate
each other). This means that your Internet
Phone calls are very hard to trace.
Q: Can I work simultaneously with Internet Phone and other
applications?
Sure. Internet Phone was designed for multitasking: a
special dynamic icon and hot keys let you use
Internet Phone even when its window is minimized. You only
notice its there when someone calls or
when you need it.
Q: Can I run Internet Phone over a LAN connected to the
Internet?
Yes. Consult your network administrator before installing
Internet Phone.
Q: How can I find other users that run Internet Phone?
The Internet Phone software connects to the IRC (Internet
Relay Chat) network, thus providing you
with a list of on-line users and topics of conversation.
It's just like a phonebook. Simply select a user
from the list and call him or her. You can also create new
topics and wait for others to contact you.
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE INTERNET
Q: What type of Internet connection is required to use
Internet Phone?
You need a TCP\IP Internet connection. The minimum
connection is a modem SLIP\PPP connection of 14,400 baud.
Q: How can I connect my PC to the Internet?
The easiest way to find out more about connecting to the
Internet is by contacting your local Internet
Service Provider.
Q: What is Winsock?
Winsock is the standard Windows TCP/IP programming
interface. It comes in the form of a DLL file
called WINSOCK.DLL which is provided with most TCP/IP
software packages.
Q: Which Winsock drivers were tested with Internet Phone?
The Internet Phone software worked successfully on
Microsoft's TCP/IP, on NetManage's Chameleon
and the Trumpet Winsock driver.

I have a question about a hungarian expression:
Why do you say "Hova való vagy?"
Hova indicates direction, isn't it?
So why a word like this in an expression used to know how is someone?
Thank you!

Szia!
Following with my interest on magyar culture and language, I have another
question for people living in Magyarorszag.
I am interested in receiving a magazine or a newspaper in hungarian and about
hungary (I mean a reader of different topics like there are everywhere.
In Russia there´s SPUTNIK, in Spain TIEMPO, etc)
So, if someone can give me some titles, and if he/she knows the address to
contact them, please, let me know.
Koszonom szepen. A viszontlatasra!

I think you misunderstood it. It means "where are you from ?'".

It's not. It means "Where do you belong?" literally, and used to ask "Where are
you from?" But I don't know why.

I wonder if the recent ratting and subsequent dismissal of a frequent
Hungarian Internet contributor has anything to do with the sudden lull
in this (and other) Hungary related Internet forums. Or is it just the
beginning of summer vacations? Probably a combination of the two. I know
of at least one person, who decided not to post until he can get a private
account, as he did not want to suffer the fate of the dismissed
contributor, posting his controversial articles from his employer's
account.
I wonder what, if any, policies exist in ".edu" institutions regarding
the use of their networks and computer resources for private purposes.
Could it be that good old M. O. Dima's account (and perhaps job) was
also terminated because of his strange views? Of course, I understand
that in cases like this the official reason given for the dismissal is
not the views themselves, but the illegal use of employer's resources.
However, the use of such resources is usually scrutinized only after
some political opponent (usually a follower of the politically correct
line) rats on the guy to his employers.

yesterday's omri review carries a report from a meeting of the hungarian
world congress in budapest. the attendees have laughed out the prime
minister, and attacked once again the slovak-hungarian treaty. i
wonder, if there can be a clearer indication of what lies ahead. i
thought mr vamossy would splash that news on the screen, too. it would
be interesting to know, whether duray, bugar and caky have taken part in
this antislovak and anti-neighbour jamboree (just to verify the thesis of
the internal enemy). joe "pannon" would know, but has quit this screen.
what is even more disturbing is the fact, that the leading circles of
slovakia continue quarelling about trifles, instead of handling the big
issues:
1. sending a note to the eu, about the threat of destabilization of
central europe by hungarian chauvinistic extremists
2. closing down most border crossings to hungary, to prevent
penetration of neo-nazi extremists to slovakia
3. finally comleting the law on the protection of the republic,
before the law becomes irrelevant by deafult
4. learning how to act in concert with other threatened countries:
roumania, serbia, croatia.

Dear Jennifer,
The "arrol" is a word. The base word is "az" translates into English as "that"
. "Arrol" means
"from that" or "about that" in Hungarian.Just as an additional interest "ez" me
ans "this" and
"errol" means "from or about that". Note that the Hungarian accent mark above t
he letter"o" is
missing in my replay. In the Hungarian language you have to conjugate every wor
d, so that is
one of the reason, that it is difficult for a non native speaker to find the ba
se word.
Sincerely,
